Subject: Australian EST (AEST) timezone is given incorrect name
The timezone for eastern Australia is called AEST in its four letter format (EST cannot be used in Time::Zone because people would confuse it with US EST). Time::Zone reports this timezone as EAST -- see for example the output of perl -e "use Date::Format; print time2str('%Z', time())" This is incorrect and looks very odd.
